PCI/MSI: Provide a sane mechanism for TPH

Browse source

The PCI/TPH driver fiddles with the MSI-X control word of an active
interrupt completely unserialized against concurrent operations issued
from the interrupt core. It also brings the PCI/MSI-X internal cached
control word out of sync.

Provide a function, which has the required serialization and keeps the
control word cache in sync.

Unfortunately this requires to look up and lock the interrupt descriptor,
which should be only done in the interrupt core code. But confining this
particular oddity in the PCI/MSI core is the lesser of all evil. A
interrupt core implementation would require a larger pile of infrastructure
and indirections for dubious value.
